The Story of the Gadsden FlagAlthough this isn't World War II history, you might also be interested in the origins of the U.S. Marine Corps in Philadelphia, 1775, and how one of these first Marines may have been the first person to combine the rattlesnake symbol with a defiant "Don't Tread on Me" slogan.

Marine Corps and USMC Devil Dogs flags from FlagLine, a small business based in Colorado. Good prices and service. I've been sending people to Josef, the owner, for more than two years and I've never heard a complaint.
